London Undercover continue to push their own boundaries and expand on their range with these carved wooden animal head umbrellas.

The animal head umbrella has to be one of the classic British gentleman’s accessories, along with the bowler hat. Maybe more traditionally used by the country gent rather than the city gent, but a gent none the less. London Undercover breath new life into this historical gem and add a combination of tartan materials to the umbrellas. Every time London Undercover do something slightly new for themselves, we find ourselves pleasantly surprised whilst thinking “We should have seen that coming really”. They’re just that step ahead.

The selection of the tartans are somehow very fitting for each animal it is teamed up with, be it the duck, dog, eagle, fox or rabbit. Made with a traditional beech wood shaft and handle, combined with a single layer tartan premium cloth canvas, these are of a very high quality, which is no surprise knowing London Undercover. Recently the brand have been collaborating quite a bit, so it’s great to see them release one of their most exciting products on their own.

All of these are available now online and in-store from London Undercover for £160 a brolly.
